No longer are you confined to the chicken and bacon sandwich, the egg and cress sandwich or the standard bacon, lettuce and tomato.

Now you can revel in the delights of the chicken and bacon sub and the chicken, bacon and avocado sandwiches.

As reported by the Liverpool Echo , the new snacks are what have been a real hit with customers.

New additions include carrot cake, lemon and white chocolate cake, caramel cake fingers and even the Eat Natural bars.

A highlight which customers are really impressed with is the beef jerky - which can now be selected as the snack part of the deal.

Typically, Tesco's £3 meal deal offer includes a sandwich, wrap or salad and a snack and drink.

In the past snacks have been limited to crisp or a bar of chocolate.

Tesco may now even be able to compete with the likes of Boots and the Co-op who have offered an extensive selection of drinks and snacks with their meal deal for some time now.

Where does your favourite meal deal come from?

0+ VOTES SO FAR

A Boots meal deal or a Co-op meal deal does cost a little more than a Tesco one, however. So a wider choice can come at a cost.

The changes come soon after Marks and Spencer announced a brand new meal deal. This is a little more elaborate than most meal deals however – costing £10 and coming with options such as lamb leg steaks, veggie burgers and more. You can even get a bottle of wine with it.

It’s a meal deal angled more at the dinner crowd.
